Ecosystem, also known as ecological or nature’s, services are
those processes and conditions provided by nature that enable
human survival. They are in the form of goods such as food and
raw materials (trees, minerals, etc.) and services (nutrient cycling,
cycling of water, pollination of crops, soil generation, climate
moderation, etc.). These services are mostly taken for granted
but have been estimated to be worth over $33 trillion US per year
globally (Daily, 1997).
Interesting to know.
